Wood lovely wood...

I'll never get tired of wood and I love how it's used in so many ways to create some gorgeous design! The maple wood knife from The Federal is a beauty and the way wood is used in its design is totally new to me!

Cool restaurant - Nordic designed

Really, what's not to love about the cool Copenhagen restaurant "Höst", the result of a successful collaboration between two well know Danish brands Norm Architects and Menu? Above all, I totally love its unmistakably cosy Scandinavian feel! Höst means harvest in Danish and autumn in Swedish! The restaurant has  definitely got that unique autumnal weathered look largely achieved by using materials such as recycled wood and old cast iron that have been left to age gracefully.


 Notice the black scissor spring hanging lamps designed by Menu

    Gorgeous tableware from New Norm in nude natural colours

 Innovative use of Euro-pallets

Rough on the ouside smooth on the inside

I've just  come across these beautiful photos in the Danish magazine Bo Bedre. Love the contrast between the rough exterior brickwork and the smooth monochrome interior.

The day I met Lotta Agaton

Just back from Meet The Blogger event in Stockholm. I'm still  feeling fully charged after meeting some truly inspiring people.

I've been a huge fan of Lotta Agaton for a very long time so just imagine my excitement when I discovered that a visit to Lotta's shop was part of the Design tour organised by Meet The Blogger! The shop was every bit as cool as I had imagined it to be and more....

Swooning over the Therese Sennerholt prints, prominent throughout the shop!

OYOY inspired Danish Design

I love the name OYOY a newly established Danish Interior design company.  The letters OY have since 1929 been written on every Danish aeroplane  so the founder Lotte Fynboe thought the letters would  be an indication that the brand is Danish! 


I am very excited to say that Skandivis will now be stocking quite a few of the gorgeous OYOY products!
